Economists see small-cap valuation recovery tied to easing borrowing costs, potentially unlocking latent growth in cyclical sectors. “There’s a certain amount of nihilism," Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, told Yahoo Finance on Friday. "All news is good news, and no news matters. By not getting this [jobs report], that’s one less impediment in the market’s relentless rise.” While the sector can see some volatility, it's also a place where many growth stocks can be found. And when you identify companies that have a long window for revenue and earnings growth, you have some outstanding growth stocks to hold. Energy sector data from Yahoo Finance shows natural gas futures sliding to $2.14, weighing on production-focused firms. Analysts expect consolidation in the industry as weaker players struggle against low prices and mounting operational costs.
